Did a lot of flying at Kai Tak (Hong Kong old Airport) during May 1997, I was there with 3 Sea Kings to support the Hand-over to the Chinese.
We would go and do a test flight ( I was the flight engineer) post an engine change Etc and it was so busy. I would be hand-ons, and often in a holding pattern waiting for the Cathay 747 that was on it's way in over Kowloon. We would then get the Sea King to Vmax and try to follow it in, so not to affect the aircraft behind!
We were parked at the Government Flying Service GFS, and next to 3 chartered BA 747's that were to ferry people out if required.
The 3 aircraft arrived with full bar's etc, and we were invited on (only a dozen of us on the det) and had a pre Kowloon night out warm up. I met a girlfriend on board that aircraft, was with her for 3 years!
We then sailed from HK to Oz, then home via the Suez and a week in Crete!
Do do trips like that any more. We had joined the ship after Arctic training in March 97, by flying out to Brunei, for jungle training, great great times.
The airport sighting square ( a chequered 'flag' on HK island), we got a pic with us all sat on there with a 747 over head..................
